Traveling is more expensive than ever before. Flights, hotel, dining out — everything has skyrocketed.
But what if you could supercharge your travel fund with a few (very easy) money moves? It’s possible … and likely much easier than you think.
Here are a few ideas:
Use this genius trick to save money on flights
Travel can be pricey. But this new extension could make your travel plans way cheaper than you thought possible.
Capital One Shopping can help you find lower prices on flights, hotels, and other travel necessities. It can automatically apply available coupons and compare prices across sites — if there is an available deal on a flight or hotel, it’ll show it to you. It also works with Amazon and other websites to find you even more deals.
Download the extension now before you go to book your next flight. It only takes a few seconds to install, but if you don’t get it you could be missing out on hundreds of dollars of savings the next time you travel.
Pay no interest on balance transfers into 2026
Imagine getting 18 months with 0% intro APR on a balance transfer. Sounds great — right? You could dramatically change your financial picture with this industry-leading card - the Citi Double Cash® Card.
If you want to kick high-interest credit card debt to the curb, this is one of the leading get-out-of-debt cards available. Transfer your high interest debt to this card with a 0% intro APR on balance transfers for 18 months. After the intro period for balance transfers, the APR is 18.49% - 28.49% (Variable). Your payments can go directly to paying down your balance without incurring a pile of additional charges. That could save you hundreds of dollars in interest!
It doesn't stop with balance transfers though. Cardholders can also earn double cash back — 2% on every purchase with unlimited 1% cash back when you buy, plus an additional 1% as you pay for those purchases; plus, a special travel offer, earn 5% total cash back on hotel, car rentals and attractions booked on the Citi Travel℠ portal through 12/31/25. Even better, you can redeem your cash back as direct deposit, a statement credit, or even a mailed check! You can turn your everyday purchases into cash back and make a dent in your debt, regular bills, or save for the future.
The best part? There's no annual fee with the Citi Double Cash® Card(Rates and fees).
Cancel your car insurance
We've got bad news. You could be wasting $600 every year on overpriced, second-rate car insurance. And you should probably cancel your existing insurance right now, because there's something much better.
This new tool from FinanceBuzz can tell you if you're overpaying for your car insurance in just a few clicks. We match drivers with companies that report saving drivers up to $600 or more per year when they save! Each driver’s savings will vary by driving history and how many discounts you’re eligible for. And once you try it out, you'll never have to look for affordable insurance again because we find you the lowest rates that other companies can't match.
Oh, and it's also free. And come on — you can't tell us you don't want to save up to $600. To find out if you're losing up to $600 or more a year, just enter your zip code here, answer a few questions and see if you're overpaying. It takes less than 2 minutes.

Earn up to $150 in cash when you shop at Amazon
There's a credit card that's making waves this holiday season. The Discover it® Cash Back(Rates and fees) card has no annual fee, and through the end of 2024, you could earn 5% cash back on up to $1,500 of Amazon.com purchases when activated.
But ... you could double that 5% cash back to 10% with a rare welcome offer: Discover will match all the cash back you’ve earned at the end of your first year. The result? You could earn up to $150 — basically from doing your holiday shopping at Amazon (which we all do anyway).
After that, earning max cash back all year is simple. You can earn 5% cash back at different places each quarter up to the quarterly maximum when you activate, including gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants. Plus, you'll earn 1% cash back on all other purchases automatically. And remember, all of that cash back from your first year gets doubled with the welcome offer.
Accepted by 99% of merchants, if you want cash back, the Discover it® Cash Back card can help put more back in your wallet.
Annual fee: $0
